Culture Quiz 267 is just what you do not want to see. You are interested
in a real commitment; the need for quick action may point
to an impatient person who will dump the project at the
fi rst sign that there will be no immediate gratifi cation. An
excess of enthusiasm from your acquaintance could be just
as dubious as an apparent lack of it. Today’s swelling of
excitement may represent an honest but capricious show of
support stemming mainly from a momentary sentiment of
solidarity, and your counterpart may wake up the next day
to feel that his enthusiasm was based more on his liking for
you than the feasibility of your project.
